"Have they done the repairs?"—"Can't say off-hand, but I doubt it."
Hi, would anyone please explain what the meaing of "can't say off-hand"?
I know "say off-hand" means "say it without checking the fact and details", but what does "can't" mean here?
Thank you!
@iclearwater,
All it means is that without checking facts and details the speaker doubts the repairs have been done.
@roger,
Thank you very much for your help.
